‘Carlos was a natural in front of the camera,’ says John. ‘Of course he has great charisma, but he is also very focused and completely held his own along with some experienced actors. It was a pleasure working with him, particularly in his native Cuba.’

For Carlos, the acting experience and meticulous process of filming with retakes was a far cry from the immediacy of live stage performance.

‘I think he found the slowness of the process quite taxing and would often rehearse his ballet moves just off camera,’ continues John. ‘I'd look round and suddenly there was Carlos in full flow and I'd think, "Wow! That's Carlos Acosta - what's he doing here?"’

Carlos has also recently released his first fiction novel Pig’s Foot, which was was selected as one of the Waterstones Eleven for the best fiction debuts of 2013. The book, which explores the tumultuous history of Cuba across three generations, is currently available to buy online and in the Royal Opera House Shop.
